Method of Disposal: Bringing to the shelter for staff and volunteers
I read this book the second I got it, and I loved it. I kept it since then so I could study it and learn it in case it would apply to my work and life passion for rescuing animals. I am recognizing now that all of the information I have collected, read, and watched about saving animals would do more good if more people had access to it. I cannot force anyone to read it, but they may want to pick it up if it was available. I know I use to love reading my old manager's copies of Animal Sheltering Magazine.
This particular book is about the people who took care of the animals following Hurricane Katrina and what was learned from that experience. It is written in hopes that in future natural disasters we will be more prepared to handle the outcome and to prepare for it before it happens. I absolutely recommend it.
In other news, H and I picked up an adorable little dog running down the highway today. He had a piece of a tether attached to his neck, is unneutered, is very skinny, and is covered with fleas and ticks. The poor guy. All he has done is slept since he made it back to the house. He ate out on the sidewalk when we caught him. He was running up the sidewalk when H's boss called us. We love him already and are optimistic that his life is about to get a whole lot better once we get him the appropriate care. We are currently calling him "Andy" and "The Tick." Trust me, they suit him.
